High heels and a short skirt might get a lady mugged, but probably not raped. The notion that women can prevent rape by hiding their bodies is backward, ignorant, untrue, and insulting to all men.
Curtailed? Yes, to some extent.

I get what you're saying, but you're wrong. There's no evidence whatsoever to support the assertion that covering up will even slightly decrease a person's likelihood of being raped. Quite the contrary, actually.
You see, rapists don't generally pay that much attention to victims' bodies. What they notice is levels of confidence, assertion, and aggression. Women who are outgoing and confidently dressed, while not inherently safe, are actually less likely to be targeted than women who signal meekness by hiding themselves.
Furthermore, in many oppressive, religious countries where women are completely covered all the time, rape is practically endemic to their culture, even so far as being part of the "Justice" system in some cases.
Point being that dressing modestly has no significant, positive impact on whether somebody is targeted, and in fact it may have the opposite of the desired effect. People who think otherwise don't know the facts.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
